What Patients Are Saying About Michelle Turley


"I've been having facials in major cities on two continents for over thirty years. There is no one like Michelle Turley, an awesome Aesthetician." -Martin Yate Cpc

"After spending several years as a Customer Service trainer and someone who helped establish a medically-supervised day spa, I have become very aware of the level of service offered to me. Most individuals consider the time spent making a living as a job. Clearly, Michelle considers her work at Savannah Plastic Surgery not as a job, but as a vocation. Right from the start, Michelle impressed me with her efficient, professional manner - an approach that not only inspired confidence, but generated a lasting professional relationship. Her dedication to technique, constant attention to detail and a thirst for continued education in her field are reflected in the services that she renders. She is willing to share her acquired knowledge regarding beneficial products, and recommends procedures best suited for the well-being of her patient. I will never hesitate to recommend Michelle because of the level of excellence she conveys. She is truly a sterling asset to your organization." -Mary Ellen McLaughlin-Rowe

What Patients Are Saying About Paige Adams

"I just had my first facial with Paige. She was AWESOME, very knowledgeable and lots of suggestions but not pushy at all!!! I love the fact that she isn't trying to sell you everything in the world.

Thanks Paige, I am looking forward to next time!!" -Karen Silver Hancock
